Jennifer Lopez Parodies Her Own Love Life in $20M Self-Financed Documentary Film

In her latest musical documentary, This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which debuted on Prime recently, Jennifer Lopez portrays a fictional version of herself. Inspired by events from her real life, especially her highly publicized romantic life, the documentary plot revolves around those incidents. In one of the sequences from the storyline, her on-screen friends get worried that the On My Way hitmaker is morphing into a sex addict. 

In a clip shared on Prime Video's official Instagram account when J-Lo gets home, she sees her friends seated around a dining table, their expressions filled with concern. She then says, "What are you guys doing here?" as she enters the room with her latest romantic interest. One of the friends then says: "We think you might be a sex addict." Lopez gives out a shocked laughter and mouths: "What?!" Another concerned friend responds: "Maybe." Their worries are validated by the fact that the Papi songstress' crazy love life changes into a major plot point and she is shown getting married to her third husband. During the wedding, guests make fun of her fleeting romances, with one person questioning: "Third time's a charm?" Another says: "This guy doesn't stand a chance." 

As per The UK Mirror, in another scene, Lopez is seen analyzing her troubled love life and asking the man she marries: "Being with you feels like home. But I left home for a reason." Speaking in a voiceover, she added: "Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always, 'In love'." Shared her excitement for the newly released documentary Lopez shared a clip on her Instagram page with the caption: "I have not been this nervous, excited, scared and thrilled to share something with you in years!! The story of the journey from This Is Me…Then to This Is Me…Now is the most personal thing I've ever done."
